This season, FOX Sports San Diego will showcase a minimum of 20 marquee events, including regular season men's basketball games, four men's basketball tournament quarterfinal games, and the women's basketball tournament championship game, as well as the soccer and track and field championships.

Additional events and non-game programming specials are slated to appear on other FOX Sports platforms.

"Teaming with the Big West is great news for our San Diego audience," said Henry Ford, senior vice president and general manager, FOX Sports San Diego. "With the addition of San Diego State to the Conference in 2013, FOX Sports San Diego becomes the regional home for Aztec sports for many years to come."

"The Big West's continued growth and stability contributed to the overall expansion of the package and the increased exposure through the cable and digital platforms will only enhance the conference brand," he said.
